3His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him(A) who called us to[a] his own glory and excellence,[b] 4by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become(B) partakers of the divine nature,(C) having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
If we get to know the transcendent God of the universe this is all we need. This is eternal life that we know the Father. His promises are superior because he is valuable. His word and the things He says are of infinite value. They keep us from the decay that is in the world. If we picture a tree that is decaying, this is the state the world is in. Is promises preserve us and help us eat of this divine nature. When I think of partake I think of everybody joining in and grabbing a slice of pizza or pie.
